I recovered the gear from the accident which occurred at Judgment Seat during the weekend of 4/9/11- 4/10/11. I left the gear at the Gendrarme climbing shop. If you're the owner of the equipment, stop by the shop and name the gear and they'll return your equipment.

I would seriously doubt that MOST people would steal gear off the wall that they knew was left from a rescue. If I believe that, then there is no hope for humanity. This is one of the rules of booty

If you recover gear leftover from a rescue you have to do everything in your power to return it to the rightful owner. It may not even belong to the climbing team involved in the accident. It could very well belong to a responding party.

Agreed and also very very dumb...Does anyone really want to end up dead?

All i'm saying is another hobby may be of better interest to those that are into making mistakes such as this for a small gain in experience. These kinds of mistakes can and will take your life!

You don't even know that the cams belonged to the accident victims. And more often than not, an over-cammed cam is not particularly unsafe, just a pain in the ass to clean. Even "experienced" climbers overcam in moments of stress. If you've been climbing long enough, there's a good chance that you'll get a cam stuck at some point.

Agreed. If it was the cam at the apex of the roof, it has been fixed there for years.
